Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 15 Building a Nest
Standing on the raft, Chen Xuan kept throwing and retracting the retractable rope.

At the same time, he began to think about ways to improve the efficiency of collection.

Although the lasso is good, it is still too light, and the range that can be thrown is not very large, and some resources are not easy to catch with the lasso.

Is there any tool that is more convenient?

Suddenly, Chen Xuan had a flash of inspiration.

Why not make a grappling hook?

It may not have been possible before, but now that there is a material with strong plasticity such as "bioplastic", isn't this possible?

Chen Xuan stopped his hands, squatted down and lowered his head to start making the grapple.

Sharpening knives doesn't cut firewood by mistake.

The production of the grapple is still very simple, just design a claw at one end on the basis of the retractable rope.

A simple model of the claw requires only three slender bioplastic rods, melted and fixed to a thumb-sized plastic plate.

Get everything done in a quick hands-on and use system optimization.

"The grapple hook is optimized for the first time, increasing the effect of sturdiness! (It is more durable than ordinary grapple hooks.)"

There is no special effect, but it is practical.

A beautiful grappling hook appeared in Chen Xuan's hand, with three sharp hooks tightly wrapped around the end of the silver-gray stretching rope.

It looked like the grappling hooks used by the royal guards in the movie, except that one was made of pitch-black metal and the other was made of crystal-clear bioplastic.

The crystal-like hook looks extremely exquisite under the refraction of sunlight, but its streamlined shape design is full of power.

Try the effect.

Chen Xuan stood up and threw the grappling hook into the sea.

When swinging, he obviously felt that the controllability of the grapple was better than that of the previous lasso.

At the same time, because of the added weight, the grappling hook can be thrown farther by him.

This immediately expanded his collection scope.

Grappling hooks can be perfectly picked on any object.

And in the process of recovery, the strong grapple can also pick up more materials than the loop hook.

Sure enough, it was much more convenient.

Using the newly made grappling hook, Chen Xuan continued the work of resource collection.

Due to the greatly improved collection efficiency, the sea surface around him was soon cleaned up.

"I'm becoming more and more like an ocean scavenger." Looking at the clean and smooth sea surface, Chen Xuan felt something in his heart.

This time, a total of 71 units of "wood" and 102 units of "plant fiber" were collected.

Adding the previous ones, he now has 94 units of "Wood" and 208 units of "Plant Fiber".

The material has already met the conditions for the expansion of the raft.

Before upgrading the raft, Chen Xuan poked his head into the water, looked at the situation in the sea, and confirmed again that there was no sign of the huge black shadow nearby.

Then he unfolded the system panel in the stream of consciousness with peace of mind, and sent an upgrade command to the system to expand the area of ​​the raft.

Like the previously optimized raft scene, a familiar intense white light blooms from the raft itself.

Chen Xuan felt that the raft wrapped in white light seemed to be slowly growing under his feet.

Raft began to upgrade.

Based on previous experience, the time this time may not be short.

Chen Xuan didn't intend to wait, he started to use the remaining materials to make other things, some things he wanted to make before.

He plans to make a pergola first.

In consideration of cost performance, he decided to use a double-sided shed structure, which looks like a triangular roof without walls, which can save a lot of materials. At the same time, the inclined roof on both sides can avoid rainwater accumulation and protect the shed itself .

After finalizing the plan, Chen Xuan quickly made the parts needed to build the pergola, mainly wooden brackets and two large pieces of linen.

This step consumes 10 units of "wood" and 60 units of "plant fiber".

Chen Xuan first used wood to build the skeleton of the roof on both sides. After placing the linen on it, he arranged them into a triangular structure and fixed them on a wooden board with wooden sticks, forming a structure about 2 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and a height of 0.5 meters of space.

Since the raft is prone to bumps, sea water will flood the raft from time to time, so Chen Xuan raised the roughly built pergola by 15 centimeters with a wooden frame for waterproofing.

In this way, a simple waterproof pergola is set up.

It is very simple and convenient, and it is convenient to expand and modify at any time in the future.

Then enter the optimization process.

Although the structure of the pergola is simple, the volume is still not small, and optimization will take time.

Still have to wait.

After the pergola was set up, the area of ​​the raft suddenly became crowded. Except for a place to stand, there was almost no extra space for Chen Xuan to walk around.

He simply got into the pergola that was being optimized. Although the pergola was still relatively rough for the time being, it already had the function of shading the sun, and his whole body was cooled down a lot.

Looking at the empty pergola, Chen Xuan decided to decorate it.

He moved on to making bedding that enhanced comfort.

Compared with his previous prop production, this is much simpler.

He first converted a piece of wood of a moderate size, then wrapped it with dried seaweed, and a pillow was ready.

Then, a part of the seaweed was kneaded and evenly spread on the wooden board under the pergola. This is the mattress.

Finally, grab some seaweed for a quilt.

The three-piece bed set is ready.

Roughly done, directly optimized.

Such a simple thing was optimized in a short time.

"The three-piece set on the bed has been optimized for the first time, and the added effect is supreme enjoyment! (It brings you the super comfort that is no less than that of a luxury suite.)"

I don't know if the system read his memory, but the appearance of the optimized three-piece bed suit is exactly the same as the one at home.

It was the ordinary set of light blue campus products he received during military training.

Although the appearance looked very simple, after Chen Xuan lay on it and tried it, he was so comfortable that he almost groaned.

This feels like a high-end brand-name product, and it is completely different from the one at home!

The mattress was very soft, not inferior to the waterbed he had experienced before. The pillow felt like a high-end latex pillow, and the quilt was extra fluffy and soft.

Coupled with the slight shaking of the raft from time to time under the action of the sea water, he felt as if he was lying on a cloud.

"This is the supreme enjoyment." Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes comfortably.

Not long after the three-piece bed set was completed, the pergola was also optimized.

"The pergola has been optimized for the first time, increasing the effect of heat preservation! (North and south are transparent, warm in winter and cool in summer.)"

Chen Xuan was lying on the bed in the pergola. At this moment, the linen-colored background in front of him instantly changed into an elegant light blue. He seemed to have suddenly come to a canned apartment, and the very hot air suddenly became cooler. It seems to have its own air conditioner.

The optimized pergola not only has a more exquisite and compact overall shape, but two light blue curtains made of seaweed have been added to the unsealed positions on both sides.

It looks the same as those satins seen in the past, and with curtains, it can better shade and windproof.

Lying on the high-grade pillow that was just made, Chen Xuan instantly felt as if he had escaped from the doomsday and came to a luxury suite in a seaside resort.

Lying in the pergola, I don't know how long it has passed, when a system prompt came from my ear: "The area of ​​the raft has been expanded!"

The raft has finally been upgraded.
